Bright Heart Yoga Studio

~MY YOGA JOURNEY with BRIGHT HEART. What once seemed out of reach is now achievable ~ Mount Whitney is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States and the Sierra Nevada, with an elevation of 14,508 feet. The first time I heard about it was ten years ago. That was long before my yoga practice or any kind of physical exercise. I always loved being outdoors, but back then, any local hike was a bit of a struggle for me. So climbing Mt Whitney was definitely something *OUT OF REACH*. About three years ago and one year into my yoga practice, I started seriously thinking about Mt Whitney. It was really Bright Heart that made it *POSSIBLE* for me - countless chairs, warriors, chaturanga’s made me stronger, and I began to believe that, with proper training (and equipment, of course), I could hike and *maybe* summit Mt Whitney. So here I am - standing on top of the mountain, proud that I did it, humbled and grateful that Mt Whitney allowed me to do it, and utterly thankful to Bright Heart and its community for making it possible! ☺️

I can't recall exactly when I discovered that there was a Baptiste Affiliate studio in San Jose. I'd been traveling to San Jose for years, did a few searches for yoga studios, tried a few out, didn't get what I was looking for.... Then one day, I looked again for "Baptiste Yoga San Jose" and "Bright Heart Yoga Studio" came up in my search! BOOM. I'm there ASAP. I've had rideshares pick me up from customer sites, drop me off at Bright Heart with my suitcase in tow - they're THAT GOOD. Every single teacher at this studio is amazing. Community. LOVE.

I'm new to Yoga and Bright Heart has been great and challenging. Lots of sweat in the 90 deg F studio. I'm a guy and one of the few, but I have had no issues with this. The instructors are good - especially Jessica :) . The studio is spotless and the cool towels at the end of the session are very relaxing. FYI, if you go to a number of classes and give a review, you get a free class.

I believe that Bright Heart Yoga Studio provides the happy & friendly atmosphere I was looking for. The instructors are friendly and guide the student through the session and ensure that you challenge yourself by the end of the session. The name of the studio is pretty much what you're offered - a "bright" heart by the end of the class feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I look forward to stay consistent with the practice and continue learning.

I love going to Bright Heart Yoga studio. I really like coming to this studio as its much cleaner and doesn't smell like other hot yoga studios. I have taken 5 classes so far and love every single class and yoga sequence. I feel so energetic after getting done with my class. I feel like I am building lot more strength in just few classes. I looks forward to my yoga classes :)
